How to drink "biochemical soup"? Be careful not to touch the mine by mistake, it will be useful if you drink it right! A mother who has just given birth to a child always has a "biochemical soup" in her diet. What kind of soup is this? Does it matter if you don't drink? In view of the situation that many pregnant women drink wrongly, Wu Mingzhu, a Chinese medicine practitioner, specially explained the correct usage of Shenghua Decoction. Postpartum confinement is the wisdom handed down by our ancestors, which can help the parturient to restore health and beauty. However, the lochia just after delivery is not clean, and I am worried that the supplement of the month will lead to lochia stagnation and blood stasis, so my mother-in-law will remind the mother to drink biochemical soup. Shenghua decoction is a common prescription for postpartum women. As the name implies, it can produce blood and remove blood stasis. The prescription consists of five basic components: Angelica sinensis, Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Peach Kernel, Processed Ginger and Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, and has the functions of removing blood stasis, promoting tissue regeneration, warming channels and relieving pain. In addition to these five drugs, Chinese medicine will adjust the taste and dosage of the drugs according to the different manifestations and symptoms of the parturient to achieve the best conditioning effect.

Efficacy of Shenghua Decoction According to modern pharmacological research, Shenghua Decoction has the functions of promoting milk secretion, promoting uterine contraction, helping uterine involution, relieving spasm and pain, calming the nerves and diminishing inflammation, preventing infection and stopping bleeding. Can be used for treating postpartum abdominal pain due to blood stasis, lochia and abdominal cold pain. Studies have confirmed that it is quite effective in preventing and treating obstetric problems.

Women who need to drink biochemical soup can drink biochemical soup if they have postpartum abdominal pain, lochia with blood clot, backache, or lochia with persistent abdominal pain.

Women who can't drink biochemical soup should not take biochemical soup if they have symptoms such as abnormal postpartum uterine bleeding, placenta implantation, severe abdominal pain, abdominal pain and fever caused by laparotomy, uterine inflammation, sticky lochia, bad taste and bad cold. This is a place that needs absolute attention.

When to drink biochemical soup? Drink for a few days? The length of time to take biochemical soup should also be different according to the physical differences and illness of women:

1. Natural parturient: You can start drinking on the third day after delivery, stick a patch a day, and drink for 7 ~ 10 days.

2. Caesarean delivery women: Generally, after exhausting on the 5th to 7th day after delivery, stick it every day and drink it for 5 to 7th days.

Shenghua decoction should not be taken too much, and it is best not to drink it after 2 weeks after delivery, because afterwards Shenghua decoction will have adverse effects on the new endometrium, making it unstable and bleeding, but will cause the sequelae of lochia. There is a kind of postpartum biochemical soup in clinic, which can be drunk for one month, resulting in continuous bleeding and medical treatment.

You can't drink biochemical soup during contractions. One more question. After delivery, obstetricians and gynecologists will give contractions according to the uterine contraction of the parturient, so during the rest period of hospitalization (about 3 days after delivery, 5? 7 days), try not to drink biochemical soup, eat medicated diet first. Because biochemical soup has the same function as uterine contractile agent, it is best to avoid uterine contractile agent prescribed by obstetricians and gynecologists and start drinking biochemical soup without postpartum hemorrhage or wound infection.

In other words, women who give birth naturally can take uterine contractions given by obstetricians and gynecologists for about 3 days before drinking western medicine; Similarly, the parturient with caesarean section should first observe the postoperative situation, take uterine contractile drugs for about 5 ~ 7 days, and then start drinking biochemical soup after stopping taking drugs.

Does it matter if you don't drink biochemical soup? On this issue, Chinese medicine has the so-called "syndrome is medicine" principle when treating patients, that is, "with this syndrome, we must use the medicine suitable for this syndrome." As mentioned above, taking biochemical soup is flexible, not rigid. Therefore, if the parturient is not suitable for taking biochemical soup as mentioned above, don't take biochemical soup at will.

Don't use wine with biochemical soup! Finally, I would like to remind you of the problem of "adding wine", because some mother-in-law will add rice wine when making biochemical soup. Zhang Yitong, a book of traditional Chinese medicine, mentioned the related issues of alcohol prohibition after childbirth, including alcohol prohibition, because alcohol can help damp heat and promote blood circulation, so I am afraid of bleeding after misuse.

Don't drink biochemical soup when these symptoms appear. You should consult Dr. China. The components of Shenghua Decoction are mainly warm drugs. Therefore, after taking it, we should pay attention to whether there is any yin injury or dryness, such as dry mouth, hands and feet, wound inflammation, constipation, insomnia and so on. If these symptoms appear, it means that it is no longer suitable to simply take biochemical soup. It is necessary to ask Chinese medicine for diagnosis and treatment, and cooperate with other drugs when necessary, so that the parturient can get the best aftercare.
